Mia07Mia07
in TTC After a Loss

I think I'm starting to get a migraine... assuming that I O'ed yesterday... do you think it would hurt anything?

It says it has acetaminophen, small amnt of aspirin and some caffeine (65 mg)

**I know I'm being paranoid, but I can't afford to do anything  that might affect my chances!

    It should be fine. Acetaminophen is safe in pregnancy. Caffeine should be limited to < 300mg (or something) and aspirin is sometimes used in pregnant women to prevent clotting.

    plus nothing crosses over until implantation. So, you got like 5-10 days lol.

    I have a history of migranes and was paranoid about this - Excedrin Migraine is one of the few things that helps me.  I asked my OB and he said that although it would *probably* be okay to take every once in a blue moon, he'd rather I try Excedrin Tension Headache... no caffeine.  So far (knock on wood) that has worked okay - as long as I take it at the slightest twinge of a migraine.  If I take it late, no such luck.

    I too asked about Excedrin Migraine in one of my first appointments as migraines are such an issue for me.  My doctor suggested trying to use plain aspirin, but if it was not enough okayed Excedrin Migraine.  As pp it does contain caffeine--so, you may want to alter any additional intake (ie coffee or tea).  All in all you are clear and there is no need to suffer.
